SUPER MARIO BROS: 1980’s GLITCHES, CHEATS, TIPS, & TRICKS

Blue Bowser Glitch

To perform the Blue Bowser glitch, the player must go towards the end of any castle level, but not on the bridge, at about the middle of the platform before the bridge. They must stay there until Bowser appears, and he will have an underground-like color palette.

Brick Block Glitch

A Brick Block must be partially hidden at the left side of the screen. Destroying the Brick Block in Super or Fire Form does not render the debris like it normally would.

Bullet Lift

In World 6-3, the player must wait on a mushroom. If playing the NES or SNES version, after a while one of the Bullet Bills, if jumped on, will fall on a string, like a Pulley Lift, although it will fall much slower. Occasionally, it will even stay suspended in the air. Please note that, due to the long time spent waiting for the strange Bullet Bill, Mario’s/Luigi’s timer will go off, costing him a life.[1]
